Urban Fantasy

Charley Davidson may not look like your everyday, run-of-the-mill grim reaper, but she has vowed to reap grimness wherever she goes despite this unfortunate fact. Sadly, she gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. As he is the main suspect in her arson case, she is determined to stay away from him until she can find out the truth. According to her therapist, however, she lacks conviction.

When dead women start appearing in her apartment - lost, confused and terrified beyond reason - Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes's help, especially when it becomes apparent that her own sister Gemma is the serial killer's next target. With his ability to observe incorporeally, surely he can find out who's responsible. And even if he can't, he is the one man alive who could protect Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return: Charley. All of her - body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she is willing to pay

If I was forced to live in a tropical paradise with only one character for the rest of eternity how could I not choose Reyes Alexander Farrow. I mean come on. Is this even a serious question??

The man has supermodel looks, mad skills in bed, everything he cooks is to die for, and he can demolish anything that even thinks about invading my personal space. Cause you know there are tons of spiders and snakes and gnats and such on tropical islands.

Can I just say a bunch of the guys!? Reyes, Garrett, the Motorcycle gang guy (feeling like an idiot cause I can't remember his name!)... h.e.double hockeysticks, even some of the ghosts are cute (the clown one)!! LOVE them all!

I really need to start this series. I have the first book, just haven't had the time. It's one that seems to hold up as the series progresses, so that's great. I love the Charlie's t-shirt slogan.Thanks for sharing!
